Theme: Re-grouping

The Moon is directly opposite the Saturn/Neptune conjunction today so, in combination with the extended Void of Course Moon today you can go more gently and less railing against the systems that cause frustration and delays today until more auspicious conditions arise. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t continue your efforts – just moderate your expectations. The Sun remains conjunct Mars and Venus so there is a good sense of purpose and self-confidence – it’s just that sometimes timing is everything.

Now is the winter of our discontent.~ Shakespeare

The Moon is Void of Course from 12.45pm until 7.05pm which is a good portion of the day so don’t have high expectations of achievement in the external world – rather focus on the small stuff and spend quiet time. Avoid signing contracts or binding legal documents at this time.

Theme: Integration

With the Sun, Mars and Venus all nestled together at 17 degrees of Capricorn it is a timely reminder that we can be our own friends (or enemies) in integrating planetary energy. This conjunction steers us towards purposeful actions wedded to an innate understanding of the importance of leadership, humility and empowered relationships in sustainable outcomes. We have more staying power and endurance with this conjunction. Combined with the Moon in Virgo the element of earth is predominant. The earth element provides firm foundations that enable durable, long-lasting outcomes.

Fairest and best adorned is she whose clothing is humility.~ James Montgomery

Theme: Merit

The Sun is exactly conjunct Venus today infusing the day with a good dose of love, affection and even an opportunity for celebration. Venus, like Jupiter, brings good fortune which, from another perspective, are the results of past good actions. Of course Mars remains nearby – but benefic Venus outweighs the tendency for Mars to be over-controlling and self-absorbed versus Venus where ‘sharing is caring’. The Moon moves into Virgo today steering the focus towards healthy habits and the finer details of daily life.

Theme: Energy transfer

Mars is conjunct the Sun funneling energy into all activities. Mars energy is part of our life-force but inherently selfish and geared for survival, so the question is what is your motivation in your actions and achieving desired outcomes? You have more drive but it’s important to harness it for good and not control over others. Saturn is edging closer to Neptune, which is rather like watching paint dry, but nevertheless ratchets up the energy of this conjunction that could result in either integration or a split of some kind. So, continue to work with your understanding of cause and effect and spiritual deepening.

One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.~ Helen Keller

Theme: Concentration and Balance

The astrological chart for the coming year is focused on achieving balance in the elements and harmonious relationships through tapping more deeply into generosity. It’s also a time of inner union of yin and yang. Focus and fortitude are important qualities with the preponderance of planets in Capricorn. It’s also important to spend time on establishing firm foundations before building your dream. With Saturn and Neptune still in conjunction at the commencement of the year it’s important to focus equally on spiritual health and understanding cause and effect in whatever tasks you undertake. The Moon in Gemini presages the importance of communications in all forms – and is square the nodes (bringing unconscious motivations to the surface) and trine the ascendant – aiding focus. Expansion on the home front is also a theme this year.

Life is a balance of holding on and letting go.~ Rumi

Theme: Flexibility

Surprises have mostly passed for the the moment (The Moon has moved past Uranus). Now you can recover and move on – until the next surprise! Dealing with sudden change is even more reason to develop flexibility. The Moon moves into Gemini today bringing with it the breeze of conversation, short trips and encounters with siblings. The preponderance of planets in Capricorn creates a good environment for planning ahead for long-term goals by building on solid foundations.

The Moon is Void of Course in Taurus tomorrow between 1.58am and 8.13am EST USA. Avoid signing major contracts – instead find time to enjoy reflective time.

Theme: Finding Balance

With Mars and Venus poised on either side of the Sun in Capricorn it’s an opportunity to find purposeful balance in your life between action/life directions and making meaningful connections that deepen relationships. The Moon in Taurus continues to provide stability although it is moving towards Uranus later in the day bringing surprises: flexibility remains the key. With the Dark Moon close to Mercury, be particularly mindful of speech and what you are seeking to communicate today.

Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm, and harmony. – Thomas Merton

Theme: Seeking Security

The Moon in Taurus invites consideration of the practical steps needed to create peace, abundance and security. Like all earth signs, there is a logic to achieving these outcomes. Similarly the placement of three planets in another earth sign, Capricorn, also focuses attention on the practical steps needed to accomplish one’s purpose (Sun), achieve goals (Mars) and make commitments in relationship (Venus). While Jupiter remains squared with Chiron, facing painful memories can be liberating and ultimately the getting of wisdom.

Wisdom is oftimes nearer when we stoop Than when we soar.~ William Wordsworth

The Moon is Void of Course in Aries until 6.57am today. Avoid signing contracts during this period. Find gentle, restorative and reflective time.

Theme: Persistence pays off

With three planets in Capricorn including the Sun fortitude and perseverance are stronger at this time. So harness the purposeful nature of these qualities for good. The Moon is in Pisces and also conjunct Saturn-Neptune warming the emotional temperature but also illuminating the challenges of juggling both restrictions and lack of restrictions, and focused activity versus making space for imagination, relaxing the mind and spiritual insights.

Just remember, you can do anything you set your mind to, but it takes action, perseverance, and facing your fears.~ Gillian Anderson

Theme: Commitment

Venus has moved into Capricorn emphasizing commitment and integrity in relationships that honors your inner truth. Venus in Capricorn also emphasizes boundaries and structure in relationships. The Moon moves into Pisces today slowing down the pace of daily life and bringing attention to more subtle emotions and feelings.
